It's a messy, thick side braid that's been doubled over and pinned up. The tricky part is getting it to look like a lovely soft mass of braided up loveliness and not a sad, bent-over plait, which I think might have something to do with gently pulling the braid loose once you've finished it. It's just a theory for now, though. I'll let you know what ends up working when I actually get around to trying it out.

Anyone else want to try road testing it with me? Send me pics if you do at glamourbeauty16@gmail.com.
